Well this might come as a shock to some and not so much of a shock to others, but after 10,000 miles on Isabel of solo travel from Atlanta to Lake Superior to Canada and down the Continental Divide (Epic), the headwaters of 4 major rivers, Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, and the Rio Grande and ultimately across the border into Mexico...Classic run on there...After a few days on the Mexican Riveria, I decided that it was time to let this adventure rest for a while.
I drove out of Mexico pretty fast and rode all the way back to the Atlanta traveling about 90 mph plus back to my girlfriends apartment in Buckhead. I don't think anyone past me and it is a blast to pass the Harley/Street Bike crowd on a dirt bike!!! Pavement is not near as fun! I am slowly adjusting back to life in the city, but real happy to be with my wonderful girlfriend, Emily. She was estatic to see me when I knocked on her door and didn't believe at first that I was back for good. But, Isabel, my trusty bike, had her time to shine and is now a weekend warrior in the
Tarantulas
Desert FriendsSouthern Appalachian Mountains...The camping part had ended as I got into Mexico..."I just didn't feel it" It was not comfortable camping there alone...Hotel rooms alone can began to feel like business travel to me so... I decided that I will wait for Stivers to pay for his house and settle down and maybe when we are older, my motorcycle partner or significant other can join me an adventure to South America. I got it down to science now traveling by bike...Dirt is definetly preferred over pavement...I just pray that when I am 50 we as a society have not paved the planet yet!
A big thank you to all who helped along the way! Max in Young Harris! Mark T it was great to see you and so glad that all is well in the Budwieser business!
